1933 Industries Inc () (OTCMKTS:TGIFF), a Canadian cannabis consumer goods company with operations in Nevada, announced Wednesday that it will continue its operations in the US state after its governor ordered the closure of non-essential businesses to slow down the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
